Chapter 238: Xingshi asks for guilt
Faced with the culprit who cut off his own mountain, the land lord did not dare to make a sound, he never thought that he would be so aggrieved to be an immortal after he died.
Seeing that the people around him ignored him, the land lord breathed a sigh of relief, and then as long as he prevaricated the Da Zhou, he might be able to save the day this time.
Just as he was about to slip away, Yu Lao's cold words instantly knocked the land lord back to the bottom.
"The thieves should have accumulated a lot of savings in the mountains over the years, right?" Yu Lao asked the land lord, this sentence made the land lord who had always been inconspicuous the focus of everyone's eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that the immortals wouldn't sweat, otherwise the land lord would have been sweating profusely, and in the face of Yu Lao's question, he could only say truthfully: "The thieves have indeed accumulated a lot of wealth. ”
After hearing this, Ye Liancheng, who was standing on the side, finally understood the ins and outs of the matter, and also knew why the dignified land was so humble in front of Yu Lao.
At this moment, the eyes that looked at the land lord were different, Ye Liancheng felt in his heart that the so-called land lord was just a mortal after all, and he had to choose between public office and private interests.
After the collapse of the mountains, everything that the bandits had built was covered in dust, and in order to obtain the treasures in them, only people with the power of the land lord could do it.
The incident happened suddenly, but the land lord was so clever that he moved the wealth buried in the ground by the thieves back to his house as soon as possible.
"When he was alive, he was conscientious, why did he change his appearance after death, did he feel that he didn't enjoy enough happiness when he was alive?" Yu Lao stared at the land and asked, he knew everything about this place in his heart, and he didn't want to mention it when he was about to see if the land lord had remorse.
At this time, the earth lord couldn't resist it at all, and knelt in front of Yu Lao with a "plop".
Unexpectedly, the next moment, an invisible force dragged him up, no matter how hard he tried, it was as if he had hit cotton, and he couldn't move.
"The man has gold under his knees, not to mention that you are still a god of mountains and rivers, and I can't afford to kneel this old man. Yu Lao pretended to be in a hurry, which made people think that the land lord was questioning him.
The land lord swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, he was still a little brainy after a lifetime of officialdom in his previous life, and said: "I beg the great immortal to give punishment!"
Ye Liancheng, who was standing on the side, stared at him, this land lord was really sleek, he didn't panic to beg for mercy but took the initiative to seek punishment, but everyone in the world knew that the gods of mountains and rivers were under the control of the imperial court, how could it be the turn of outsiders to punish them?
seems to be a simple sentence, but it is very deep behind it.
Iron Stone Nose let out a breath of heat, and it could be seen that his impression of this land lord was not very good.
Yu Lao narrowed his eyes slightly, like an old fox examining his prey.
After a long silence, he spoke: "Bring the rest of the wine and dry food, and you can keep the treasures, after all, it is not easy to be a god of mountains and rivers in this ghost place." ”
The land lord who escaped from danger was overjoyed, and all he said was some words of gratitude, and Ye Liancheng on the side looked at him with even more pity, because he knew that Yu Lao would not let him go easily.
After the confinement on his body disappeared, the land lord said goodbye to the three 'great immortals' one by one, and then quickly escaped into the land to carry the things he needed for Yu Lao.
There were suddenly only three people in the wooden house, and Yu Lao glanced at the two people who were staring at him, and shouted, "Why are you looking at me, and you don't thank me for bringing all the wine and food here?"
"Why did you let him keep those treasures?" Iron Stone asked, although he was puzzled, he didn't stop it, it seemed that he had given Yu Lao enough face.
Of course, Yu Lao didn't know how to be modest, tilted his head, and said proudly: "Mountain people have their own tricks!"
"Phew!" Iron Stone spat disdainfully, and was about to wave his hand to chase people away.
"Eh, I have to move a wooden bed out anyway!" Yu Lao said loudly to Ye Liancheng when he was dragged away by the iron stone.
Helpless, Ye Liancheng could only help Yu Lao move out an empty bed for him, and only two people lived in the two-story wooden house.
"Are you going to let the imperial court clean him up?" Ye Liancheng, who was carrying the wooden bed to the grass, asked casually.
Yu Lao was directing Ye Liancheng to adjust the direction of the wooden bed, and after hearing Ye Liancheng's question, he smiled, "It's worthy of being my apprentice, much smarter than that fool." ”
"Boom!"
An axe broke through the air and flew straight towards Yu Lao, if it wasn't for Yu Lao's timely reaction, this axe would have fallen to the center of his crotch, and in time, the axe inserted into the dirt still looks very intimidating.
Gollum, the master and apprentice swallowed saliva at the same time, this iron stone looked honest and honest, but he had been listening to the conversation between the two.
Not long after, the land lord went and returned, first bowed to Yu Lao, and then took out some mattresses from the space ring to help decorate the empty bed that Yu Lao put outside.
How do you know that the kind move was stopped by Yu Lao, he waved his hand and said, "I'll just put some weeds on it myself, so it's more comfortable to sleep." ”
How can anyone in the world feel comfortable sleeping in the weeds, the land lord's face pulled, and he subconsciously thought that Yu Lao had not completely forgiven him, and deliberately separated himself from him.
Ye Liancheng, who knew the inside story, did not open his mouth to explain, he is not a bad person, and sometimes he has to shut up when he should shut up.
The land lord still had a smiling face and walked into the wooden house with other things.
Perhaps in his eyes, Tieshi, who is not good at words, is much easier to get along with than Yu Lao, who can speak well.
When he came out again, the land lord had already placed the wine and some bacon marinated by the thieves on the open space in the wooden house.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to say goodbye and leave, he was grabbed by Yu Lao's arm.
"You must have a lot of herbs here, right?"
The mountains are full of spiritual energy, and there are few human tracks, and herbs are indeed very common in the mountains.
In addition, the land lord is a god here, and this vast mountain is like his own back garden to him, and he can't be familiar with it anymore.
Faced with Yu Lao's sudden question, when the land lord opened his mouth to answer, the words had already turned several times in his mind.
"Daxian, look at the herbs you want? I'll send them to you as soon as I find them. "In order to save his life, even if Yu Lao wants him to cherish the herb here, it is estimated that he will not blink an eyelid, and he will send it to him immediately.
Facing the land lord's straightforward answer, Yu Lao scratched his scalp a little embarrassedly, and said, "You marked it on a map, and I need those to find it myself." ”
The land lord nodded, indicating that as soon as it was a trivial matter, it would be done for Yu Lao immediately.
Why do you suddenly need herbs for no reason? Ye Liancheng remembered what happened this morning, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.
